Are Rihanna and Ciara Beefin?

Seems, like earlier this week there was some major beef between the two Queens of R&B. Ciara recently released a new track written by her boo Future called "Body Parts". After the release of the song, there was a YouTube video floating around of Ci singing the new joint a cappella in the bathroom. The video has a lot of hits, but I think the most interesting hit is the one from Rihanna and BFF Melissa Forde. Video girl Mel F tweeted and instagramed a pic of her and Rihanna watching the bathroom rendition of the song.
The instagram photo uploaded to Melissa Forde's account
In the picture, the two are clearly laughing at what they are seeing with the caption referencing Ci's new video. Ci and Ri have had a few tit for tats in the past when their wires first crossed. Ciara fans have recently taken to Twitter bashing Mel for throwing shade Ciara's way. And, Mel has not held back with the shots either. She tweeted the other day in response to some Ciara fans:

A tweet from Melissa Forde's official Twitter account
Who's side are you on? Are you TEAM RIHANNA or TEAM CIARA? Actually, it kinda seems like TEAM MELISSA vs TEAM CIARA since Rihanna has been quite hush hush on the subject as a whole.

"Royale Bows to A Queen": Model Spotlight

Born and raised in Washington, DC,  Yasmeen loves being in the city. As a full time student in college she is always busy.  During her free time she likes to paint, listen to The Weeknd, and serve the homeless. This drop dead gorgeous model is a mix of Black, Egyptian, and Irish. As a talk show host, Yasmeen is very enthusiastic, humorous, and fearless. The motive Yasmeen lives by is to "Kill with Kindness". Not only did Yasmeen grow up with Mr. Royale himself (they both attended Annunciation Catholic), her and Tyrone share the same motivation to be bigger and better everyday. Her style and fashion sense is so unique, Royale had to get our hands on her. Look for this one in the upcoming photo shoot for the Spring release!

Who is Quvenzhané Wallis?

That's the same thing I asked myself, until I saw that a popular online newspaper called the 9-year old the C word. Rhymes with blunt. Yes, they called the poor little girl a C-U-N-T. Now after seeing this, the Royale fam decided to check her out and do a little dedication to the young girl taking the movie scene by storm. Ms. Q recently became the youngest nominee for an Academy Award (Best Actress) in history. Oh, and did I mention she's also the first African American to be the youngest nominee. Sounds more like a S-T-A-R rather than the other four letter word used by The Onion (the newspaper). This 9 year old actress starred in Beasts of the Southern Wild, a drama about a small town in Louisiana. The movie was nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Actress. Now why would this bring someone to say such a negative thing? The Royale crew is shaking our heads. The Onion officially apologized and removed the Tweet, but still thats something a little girl won't forget. Tell us what you think about the Onion and their chose of words!

And, we would like to recognize Ms. Q as a true Queen in our eyes!

Did Django Get Robbed?

Recently at the Academy Awards, there were awards handed out left and right. Django was nominated for four awards and brought home two, but the kicker is that Jamie Foxx wasn't holding one. Neither was Kerry Washington or Samuel L. Jackson. I don't know if any of you saw Django, but it was amazing. Jamie Foxx finally did his thing on the big screen. Probably one of his best movies since Ray. Foxx portrayed the slave turned bounty hunter who teams up with a white man to track and capture American's most wanted. Samuel L also delivered a great performance (carrying the movie, in my opinion) as a house slave who has it out for Foxx from the jump. Definitely a winner for the Royale crew. But again, they all went home empty handed. So that raises the question, whats going on with the Oscars? The movie was good enough to get Tarantino best screenplay. So that means it was the best script, but none of the black actors won an Oscar? Hmmm, and Christopher Waltz (who plays Foxx's white partner) won best supporting actor. How come our boys didn't bring home the gold? The movie was clearly good enough. Tell us what your thoughts on about whether or not Django deserved more!

Is Christina Milian Underrated?

The Royale team has been brainstorming about who to feature in the Battle of the Queens. We threw around the typical names like Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, and Ciara. Then I thought about Ms. Milian who used to be the baddest one doing it at one point. So we've decided to dedicate a separate post to see if she's still got it. 


We first saw the beauty in Love Don't Cost A Thing with funny man Nick Cannon (hmm, maybe Mariah Carey could be featured). Her style back then was very urban and "chick from down the street", but the face and the body were so on point we let her slide. Plus, we've all had our moments. She was rocking the blonde curls and the sultry stare that had all the guys drooling and the girls hating. Milian definitely hit the scene after that movie. She was trying in the style department, but it definitely wasn't as sophisticated as other actresses. But not to worry, Milian stepped her game up. 
I know every guy on the planet was trying to get they hellos in when she graced the red carpet. After Nick Cannon messed up his chances, who would have thought that the Dream would get his hands on this blonde bombshell?!? Much Respect to him for that! Not only was he dating the actress, but he even put a ring on it. The marriage was short lived, but the couple had a beautiful daughter during their stunt together. 
Her style started to upgrade a bit too. She went a little darker on the hair and elevated the class a bit. She was all over the movie screens too. Christina Milian is one of those girls that we all feel like we know. After Milian escaped her nightmare with the Dream, she really was trying to deliver a message. 

She is sexier than ever now! She not only raised her standards in men, but she raised the height of her heels too. We forget about this sister because she's been on the back burner for a bit, but not to worry. She is on the way to making a comeback. She can be seen on the Voice and on Tyler Perry's tv show (one of those "comedies" on TBS). Plus, she was just signed to YMCMB by Weezy himself. Not to mention she has pretty cute sidekick these days. 

Milian's style is sophisticated and sexy, definitely fit for a Queen. We hope to see more of her this year. Maybe a collabo coming soon with Weezy! I think she could definitely hold her own against some of the heavy hitters in the game. Props to Christina! She's back!

Spotlight: Infinity Elite Cheer Team

The Scroll would like to take the time to recognize the Infinity Elite competitive cheerleading team! Infinity Elite has both youth and senior girls ranging from ages five to seventeen. Led by Coach Shavon, these girls compete in major competitions throughout the year. The girls are currently training for their big competition right now. The Royale Family wants to show them some love and support!

Take a look at some of the pictures of the girls below:







Who's the Real King? Future vs Kanye

Okay, now lets look at one of the Kings of the rap game: Kanye West. Kanye has been delivering hit after hit for years. Hailing from the Chi, Kanye has left us wanting more and more every time he drops an album. But can he hold his own in a fashion battle like he does on the mic?

Hmm, I'm thinking that you guys are just as confused as the Royale Court over here. Now, Kim looks bomb like usual. Her body is so amazing that she doesn't need to do much to impress. Her body hugging dress is definitely on point, but where is the bling. She looks naked! (Not saying there is anything wrong with that!) She needs a killer necklace or earrings to really be considered a Queen. As for Yeezy, man what happened? The point of the white blazer is to add a pop. You can't have a pop when your shirt is white too player! C'mon. Thats fashion 101. The pants are swagging, but they got overshadowed by the confusion at the top.

OVERALL: The Royale Court is shaking our heads.






Okay, I was really hoping that they could pull it together, but it seems like we've been let down. Kim's outfit is cute, but when was the last time you saw a Queen look cute. She should be looking badder than life when she steps out with Kanye. She dropped the ball a bit. She should have let her hair down and gave some real sex appeal. She looks like a old woman. Not cutting it for the Royale Fam. Yeezy looks like...i'm not sure what. If you are going to wear a t shirt to a nice function make sure its something dripping with swagg. This is not that. The shoes are fresh and so are the pants, but I'm not a fan of the waist up.

Not a power couple in this picture.

OVERALL: Dropped the ball, the Royale Court dismisses KimYe.


SO, the winner of the first battle by a landslide goes to the new kid on the block:
        FUTURE
He knows how to clean up when necessary as well as still have his street swagger shown. Ye could take a few pointers.

Signed,

The Royale Court

Catch us tomorrow for the next battle!

Who's The Real King? Future vs Kanye

This week we are going to start off looking at some newcomers and  heavy hitters. Oh, and their ladies. We are first going to face Future up against Kanye West. Alright, lets get started on Future who has been hot on the radios, but has he been hot in the fashion world as well?

Now, if we are only grading him on his outfit and not his arm candy (which is definitely an A+), then we can definitely say that Future has stepped his game up. The all black is not only stylish, but its whats current. More and more people are going for the all black everything look these days.

But, how do we feel about the scarf though? I'm a little confused. It's kind of a deal breaker over her in the Royale Castle. Especially when his dime piece is dressed to impress. Let's lose the scarf and we got a grade A look for the party.

OVERALL: Close, but no cigar.







Yes, Future! He has proved that he can clean up very nicely. Now he matches his lady's fly. We love the all black with the clean button up. He isn't doing too much and that's the true sign of Royalty. He looks expensive and worthy to have fine Ciara on his arm. (Plus, we love the fur as her accent on her outfit).They look like a power couple and that they have been doing this for years.

We like that they both are rocking the all black together. They look in sync, which was where they went wrong in the last pic. They definitely got it going on in this picture.

OVERALL: We don't want this to NEVA END, Royale endorses this couple fully.

THE KING'S APPROVAL
